Federal Skilled Worker with Arranged Employment
Arranged employment can strengthen FSW eligibility and CRS — but only offers that meet IRCC definitions and paperwork count. We validate employer support before you rely on it.
Overview
What “arranged employment” means
It is not a casual job offer email. IRCC expects a structured offer, often backed by a positive LMIA or qualifying exemption, with details that match NOC and wage realities.
CRS interaction
Additional CRS points depend on whether the job is TEER 0 or 1 versus TEER 2 or 3, and whether the offer is considered “good for” a certain duration. We model your score with the correct bracket.
Employer cooperation
Employers must be willing to provide verifiable information during processing. We coordinate messaging so HR teams understand what they are signing.
How we can help
Offer review
We compare your letter to IRCC arranged employment checklists — missing clauses waste LMIA effort.
Employer compliance
Portal offers, compliance fees, and ongoing employer obligations for work permits if applicable.
Risk
If the job ends, CRS and eligibility can change — we explain backup plans.

Frequently asked questions
Does any job letter add 50 points?
No — duration, skill level, LMIA status, and employer legitimacy all matter. IRCC publishes detailed tables.
Can I change employers after ITA?
Material changes can affect eligibility — notify us before you switch so we can assess impact.
Is arranged employment the same as LMIA?
Often arranged employment for CRS is tied to a positive LMIA or specific exempt categories — we map your letter to the correct box.
